To sell a custom project or just the neck... Looking for input.
Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2019 7:36 am
I'm contemplating selling my custom project Preacher 1, but I wanted to get the groups thoughts on the matter. Pics below, then under that my reasons for selling and if selling is a viable option.
Typical spec for me when buying a neck is Vintage Fender spec but with a thick deep V boat neck. I usually buy from Warmoth. For this project I wanted a big CBS headstock, but Warmoth only sells them on the vintage modern construct, not straight vintage. Why I have no idea. Anyway. so I decided I;d try their 10 to 16" radius with all of my normal specs, which include: Boat neck, Vintage small frets, vintage style tuner ream, etc.
Well, turns out I don't love the neck. I guess I need 7.25 radius after all. Aside from that I love the guitar, in general though I am finding it somewhat redundant in my guitar collection as a whole which makes me want to try to just sell the whole thing. the only issue is, as most of you know, custom projects can be a hard sell. Part of me wants to try to just sell the neck and use that money to buy another one and call it good, while another part of me wants to try to sell the whole thing.
Since it's got a lacquer finish, but is also used, I would like to sell the neck alone for $200 with no tuners or hardware, and logo removed of course (It's over the finish)
Or sell the whole thing for $500, with no case.
Your thoughts on either idea? Think it would go? trying to decide before taking it apart. Thanks.
